Alka

Game engine written in zig, compatible with zig version 0.8.0.

This engine does provide a toolset for you but generally you have to implement how they work and how should be.

For example if you want to use GUI, well you can and engine provides a tool for you but you have to implement how elements behave, draw, etc. There is no ButtonElement or TextBox, only Element. Same goes for the ECS too.
